Move it Music

So I’m about a month late on this review but here goes… Chuck is absolutely amazing. From day one, when I called to set up our first appointment he treated us like family. When I started planning for my wedding, I was still almost a full 2 years out from the big day, 3 months pregnant & completely lacking on the knowledge of wedding planning. We showed up to meet Chuck and instantly he made us feel welcome and assured me he was going to make this the best day I’ll never forget. Well, he followed through on that promise X 1,000,000,000!!! Then, he gave me a book on wedding planning that he and Jimmy wrote. (I read that thing cover to cover then passed the wisdom to the next bride to be)
Once the day came Chuck wasn’t kidding, he had everything under control. (Even certain unruly family members who insisted on the Cupid shuffle)!
My wedding was only 80 people total. And full of «older aged» (treading lightly) people who don’t like to dance… Well Chuck worked his magic and there wasn’t a butt in a seat once the music started! AMAZING! No seriously… Amazing… If you want a great priced, EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGABLE, super energetic, down to earth, relatable (did I use enough adjectives to get my point across?!) DJ… You want 617 Weddings. There are no DJs like them. I guarantee it!
And 3 weeks prior we were in a wedding Jimmy worked… Same review goes for him. He killed it. I heard so many people at both weddings say «I haven’t danced like that in years!»
Thank you guys! Seriously… You guys were perfect!

I have been deciding for the lasts couple of months wether to even write a review and I normally like to give businesses the benefit of the doubt because i know all weddings can’t be 100 percent perfect but for the money this company charges you should read this .
I’m not sure who dropped the ball but I feel that with all the great meetings we had with the company and they were very specific on how everything was suppose to be planned out in writing and on their website the they have set up so I would put the blame on the DJ himself. I really just felt like he half assed it. Not to say DJ Dane was all that bad the wedding for the most part went fantastic but it felt like the job he did was the only glaring miss step out of an otherwise perfect night. Now I’m not mad at anyone I’m really only writing this so that when people see that they are «the knot» approved that they know exactly what their getting.
I’ll give a quick description of my problems with his mistakes. The ceremony went great we had them set up a mike which went fine (he miss cued the song as we were walking down the isle after the ceremony so it didn’t start playing til we at the very at the end). The cocktail hour was perfect (no problems there) be when he was making the introductions for the wedding party into the reception hall he shuffled the order so we had scramble to make sure everyone came out at the right time (again did not have any song cued up right). And basically almost all the songs we requested during the reception were played during dinner and when it came time to dance he started playing disco (something we made perfectly clear we didn’t want at all) but we told him to stop and play something this generation which finally got some people on the dance floor (other than my disco lovin aunt) and he did that whole dollar dance trick that I’ve seen at every other wedding that got some people up. The reception stuff went fine (i.e. the cake cutting, the first dance, the last dance) but we had to remind him to do the father daughter dance and the throwing of the bouquet (which ended up not doing to save time and because most of the people at the wedding were married).
Now I’m not all sour grapes about it the owner of the company was great and i would recommend the back lighting (well worth the extra money) we had a fantastic night but we went to a lot of weddings this past summer and we by far had the worst D J. And had the most expensive one (we paid over 2000 for them) i would still recommend this company again just not DJ Dane.

Wish I could give more stars to be honest. We went with Move It Music after sitting with them for 10 minutes. We immediately noticed how much Dane and Jimmy loved what they did. Dane was our DJ and we couldn’t have been happier with the job that he did. We had a few weird requests, our first dance, introduction, mother daugher dance, and Dane was ecstatic about each other. He was very energetic and went to great lengths to set our minds at ease about the coming day. Everyone who attended our wedding has said what a phenomenal job Dane did. We honestly couldn’t have been happier, he went above and beyond our expectations.
Secondly we met with a lot of DJ’s, most of them were charging WAY more then what Move It Music quoted us. They were by far the greatest value for the money, we didn’t want a DJ that played a specific list. I can set an ipod to a pair of big speakers for that. We wanted someone to read the crowd, keep everyone up and moving and the party going. We ended up going out afterwards and staying out till 4 am because Dane had us so pumped up. He literally had everyone up and dancing all night.

Chuck DJ’d our wedding last night and was AMAZING! From the minute we started working with him, he was professional, informative and super helpful. Move it Music provides an online planning tool that makes the whole process so simple and straightforward. Chuck helped us pick out some songs that would be appropriate for all guests and also played EVERY SINGLE song that we had requested beforehand. I have NEVER seen a dance floor as full as I did at our wedding and I have to give the credit to Chuck. He had everyone dancing and moving around the entire night. Not only that, he also helped the groom and I with some advice and direction throughout the night as there were times when we had no idea what we were supposed to be doing! And another thing, he consulted with myself or the groom when some people had wanted to make a toast or a blessing before just letting them do it. I can not write enough good words about Chuck and Move it Music. We also opted to have Move it Music do our uplighting and are so happy that we did! It really set the mood and atmosphere of the evening and was definitely worth the extra money (although it was still very reasonably priced).
Overall, if I had to do it again, I would hire Chuck in a heartbeat! I would recommend him (along with Move it Music company) to anyone for any kind of event.

I think Chuck is amazing but some of the songs didn’t get play on my list actually quite a bit of them. Other then that he was great and really made my night. He recommended my photographer but he wasn’t what I had hoped for. Another thing is I think he got all wrapped up into the wedding that he forgot to say who won the centerpieces after we did a game.

Recently DJ’d my sister’s wedding. They ignored the play list my sister gave them and wouldn’t play any of her requests or those of any of her guests. They just played what they wanted all night. In 5 hours, they played 2 slow songs. It was a freaking wedding, not a strip joint or whatever the heck they’re used to DJing. Couples want to dance together at weddings. Also, some techo/​rap is cool and can get people moving, but weddings have a range of tastes and ages. 5 hours of techno is a bit much for that kind of an event. Grandma’s not going to get up and start shakin’ it to «Smack That.» Ok, maybe the occasional grandma, but certainly not any grannies I’m familiar with! Learn to mix it up already.
